Best Vacuum for Tile Floors Buying Guide 2018 – Top Rated For The Money

For many homeowners, owning more than one vacuum is not idea, either due to storage space, money, or just wanting to keep things simple. No matter your reason for wanting a single vacuum for the whole house, chances are the Dyson DC25 is for you. This vacuum is designed to handle all types of flooring through basics adjustments, working as well on medium to high pile carpeting as it does on hardwood and tile. The brush bar spins fast and can easily remove pet hair from carpeting, while it can be turned off to still be gentle on tile, making it the best vacuum for tile floors and pet hair. The telescope reach wand ensures that no surfaces in your home are beyond the reach of this vacuum. The HEPA filter keeps your air clean while the easy empty bin ensures that your dirt and debris do not get into the air after cleaning is complete.

On the downside, some users feel that the attachments are a little clumsy when compared to the sleek design of the machine at large. There are also complaints that the machine is a bit heavy and cumbersome to move between floors, so you need to consider this if you have a multilevel home. However, it is overall a very solid product with a strong consumer following.

Most vacuums struggle to reach the edges of a space properly, often leaving behind enough dirt and debris that following up with a broom is necessary. However, the BISSELL PowerEdge is designed to offer edge-to-edge cleaning. To make this vacuum even more impressive, it is designed to pick up pet hair better than most other machines on the market, even on hard surfaces. This machine has a unique v-shaped head that is meant to simplify vacuuming around furniture rather than moving it, which means there is less of a chance of damaging your floors while cleaning. The head swivels easily, so you work less to get it around the floor.

Of course, every product has its problems. For this model, the biggest concern is the noise it creates. Most vacuums specifically designed to target pet hair are also quiet for the comfort of animals in the home. However, this vacuum is actually rather loud. The other main complaint from customers is that the wheels can lock up from time to time and they must wiggle to machine to get them moving again.

This is another vacuum that is designed to be used on multiple surfaces; all you need to do is change out the attachments to move between tile, carpeting, and other surfaces in your home. A major benefit of this particular model is that it is very lightweight at less than 9 pounds, making it easy to carry up and down the stairs. Its canister designed is also made to rest on the steps when you are cleaning them. The suction on this model is strong and the canister is easy to empty, making it all around a great contender for most homes with tile floors.

There are some fairly minor issues with the machine. Many users feel the cord is too short and must repeatedly plug and unplug when cleaning a space. However, the biggest problem is the hose. When first purchased, it is quite stiff, and over time it can develop kinks that weaken the suction of the vacuum.

The most difficult part of purchases a new vacuum is usually assembling it, but the Linx is quick and easy to put together. This vacuum is specifically made to offer edge-to-edge cleaning, eliminating the need for sweeping up after vacuuming. It can work on multiple surfaces with a few minor adjustments, though it is not ideal for high-pile carpeting. This particular model is corded, but there is a cordless version if that interests you.

The primary downside to this vacuum is there are no attachments that come with it. And unfortunately, you cannot purchase any separately either. Beyond this, the bin is quite small, but this is expected with a stick vacuum.

Depending on the type of flooring you have and how high traffic the area is, it may be ideal to have a wet-dry option that you strictly use on hard surfaces. If this is true for you, the BISSELL Symphony All-in-One Vacuum and Steam Mop is an excellent choice. This vacuum can be used on any hard floors, though you should be careful if using the steam mop on wood floors. It features digital controls that make operating it easy and has an adjustable handle to make it easy to share it amongst members of the household. 4 mop pads are included and will need to be replaced eventually, but should last for some time. Assembly is just one step and its lightweight and slim profile makes it easy to use and store.

This model could use some minor improvements. It is not effective on unsealed grout, so a special attachment for this would be nice. But the biggest problem is that there is no switch to turn it on and off; once you plug it in, it is on until you unplug it again.

In terms of cordless vacuums, the Ergorapido offers some of the longest-lasting power. A single charge gives you more than 20 minutes of full power suction after which you can continue on for a short while with diminished power. You can detach the handheld vacuum to reach difficult spots for a more thorough cleaning and the cyclonic system delivers powerful suction. Setup requires just one step and the lightweight design means you do not need to strain in order to clean your home.

As for the downsides, the handheld unit is somewhat bulky, which means attachments are needed for tight corners. And, as this is a stick vacuum, the bin is quite small. Expect to empty it frequently.

This wet/dry vacuum is designed to eliminate the need for mops and scrub brushes, and even the bucket for your cleaning solution. Instead, this model handles it all. In fact, it even dries your floors as well. Because of this drying action, it is great for use on hardwood too, one of the only wet/dry vacuums that can claim this distinction. In addition to these great features, it also offers a folding handle for easy storage.

Some users feel that this vacuum is good for light to medium mopping but that heavy dirt and grime will still require scrubbing; the best way to prevent this is to clean every day. Also, the small tank for the water needs to be filled often, and the tank for the dirty water emptied just as frequently.

This vacuum is designed to take care of just about every possible cleaning job in your home. It comes with modes for carpet and hard floors, including wood, tile, and laminate. It comes with concentrated cleaning solutions that are safe for pets but effective at getting the job done. The microfiber pads are designed specifically for hardwood to prevent damage. Finally, the swivel steering makes it very easy to maneuver.

A major complaint with this vacuum is that the cleaning solution bottles are not reusable. This means you must repeatedly purchase them to refill, and it also makes it difficult to use other cleaning solutions if those interest you. Some users found the spray mechanism stopped working well after a few months of use, but this is not a consistent issue.

If you are looking for a model that is effective and affordable, the VonHaus Lightweight Upright Stick and Handheld Vacuum may be the right choice for you. This is one of the most affordable units on the market, and it gets the job done. The dust bin can hold 1.3 liters at a time, giving you more cleanings between emptying the bin. The HEPA and sponge filtration system removes the vast majority of allergens from the air. And it glides easily without compromising its suction.

However, it is not a good choice for surfaces other than tile and hardwood, which limits is cleaning ability. Some users felt the suction was not as good as more expensive models on the market, but it still did its job.

This lightweight vacuum works well on hard floors as well as low-pile carpeting. The 9 amp motor is quite powerful for the size of the machine and the HEPA filter keeps the air clean. It comes with a crevice tool that is stored on board and the 30-foot cord is longer than most vacuums. As an added benefit, it stores upright, so you do not need to prop it up if you step away from cleaning for a bit.

While the 30-foot cord is a major plus for some, others find it to be too difficult to manage. Another common complaint is that it is difficult to empty. However, most users feel it is a great vacuum for its price.
